As in al the major sports, the owners are crying broke but they are the idiots paying unproven, over valued players stoopid money.
Joe Flacco's fairy tale continues with record-setting contract
Joe Flacco, once his new contract with the Baltimore Ravens is finalized, will be the highest-paid player in NFL history.
Let that sink in for a moment.
As recently as Week 15 of this past season, when the Ravens were clobbered by the Broncos right after changing offensive coordinators, there was an army of doubters unconvinced that Flacco ever could get Baltimore over the top. Then the playoffs started and Flacco turned in one of the greatest runs in league history, taking down the Colts, Broncos, Patriots and 49ers in succession.
That's postseason wins over Andrew Luck, Peyton Manning, Tom Brady and Colin Kaepernick in succession, in case you're keeping score — the No. 1 pick in 2012, two of the best QBs in league history and a talented youngster who helped usher in a new era of offense, respectively.
To the most incredible of extents, Flacco struck while the iron was hot. Had the Ravens lost, say, to the Colts in the wild-card round, Flacco, a pending free agent, might have been allowed to walk out of Baltimore. He certainly would not have been handed the reported six-year, $120.6 million contract he will receive, which bumps hm over top of Drew Brees' five-year, $100 million deal.
After Flacco delivered a Vince Lombardi Trophy to Baltimore (and won a Super Bowl MVP award in the process), though, the Ravens had to bring him back.
It looked, for awhile, like it might require the franchise tag to do so — the non-exclusive tag, which would have prevented Flacco from negotiating with other teams, would have run Baltimore upwards of $19 million for 2013, with Flacco then potentially hitting free agency again in 2014.
Still to be revealed here is exactly how Flacco's contract breaks down. Until we see the bonuses and guaranteed money involved, pinpointing the Ravens' exact commitment is impossible.
Either way, an entirely new type of pressure awaits Flacco. No longer is he stuck proving that he can win the big game; instead, he'll spend the next several seasons under the financial microscope, his naysayers now turning their attention to how he performs in relation to Manning, Brady and Aaron Rodgers — the latter may indeed soon sign an extension that surpasses Flacco's deal.
Those quarterbacks, however, are generally accepted to be the cream of the crop. Flacco, even after his magical postseason, is not there in a lot of minds.
Is that fair? Maybe not, given how this past season ended. Does it matter? Nope not one iota.
Flacco laid down an absolute career hammer in the playoffs, rendering any discussion about his "elite" status obsolete. Maybe he's not a Hall of Famer. Heck, maybe he's not even the best quarterback in his division. But he was arguably the top player throughout the NFL's postseason tournament, and he will be paid accordingly.
The turnaround for Flacco, from lightning rod of criticism to this moment, was swift and stunning. What happens from here will define the success of the Ravens' all-in move, as well as Flacco's lasting legacy.
That is a tremendous amount of money for a man who will never get near the Super Bowl again
It's a 3 year deal. No way they take a 29M cap hit in year 4.
And oh, by the way, the Ravens just saved about 13 million on the cap this year compared to what the exclusive tag would have cost, and 8 million on what the non-exclusive tag would have cost.
If Rahim Moore doesn't make a "Bill Buckner level" error, does Flacco come close to $20M per season... No way! Instead of Brees/Peyton money he gets Big Ben/Phillip Rivers money.
I still think it would have been much wiser to franchise tag him this year and see if he can continue his success next season. One of his biggest knocks is that he's inconsistent and streaky. I don't see why you'd make him the highest paid player in the history of the league because one of his streaks came at a very good time. Also, I don't think the right player won Superbowl MVP. Jacoby Jones should have been that guy and the Ravens defense as a whole had as much or more to do with the unlikely playoff run.
I must admit that I am surprised by the Ravens. Without knowing EXACTLY how this deal breaks down, I would have thought they would have franchise tagged Flacco, pay 15m for the year and see how he plays. This way time is their best friend and they can build a sample spread that allows for blown matches that they can use as leverage against him next year. The only way that changes is if Flacco plays great again and Ravens have to eat a huge contract. I admire them for biting the bullet and following through on their guy. I think the elephant in the room is the Rodgers deal upcoming and the Ravens pre-empting that somewhat, if Flacco played great again, then they would be on the hook for at least 22m a year. Rodgers deal was, and always was, going to be the bigger deal. By sorting now, Ravens mitigate loss down the road and keep Falcco happy. Everyone makes out. Solid business and shows that Bisciotti is a man of his word.
I'm all for Players getting paid their fair share, but when you take a player that isn't even a top 10 player and make him the hgighest paid, it throws everything off. Like last year with Mario Wiliams becoming highest paid on defense. other then a 12th ranked in QB rating all his stats are 14th or higher Passing Yards 14th YPA 14th Comp 15th QBRating 12th TD's 16th Completion % 19th. He won because he was on a good team witha good defense. I would of let him test FA, and maybe even flirt with trading for Alex Smith, or even trade for him, he had a better season then Flacco. With that contract I don't see the Ravens doing much in FA.
What a joke.
Flacco should send Rahim Moore a thank you note and the most expensive Rolex on the market.
Well so much for a deep roster. Flacco is not a top 5 QB. Maybe somewhere in the 8-12 range I would say. He is not good enough to make poor supporting casts better, a la Peyton in Indy or Brady. You can't tie up that much cap in one guy who isn't transcendent. Same reason Megatron deserves megabucks and Mike Wallace doesn't. This looks like a huge mistake to me, and I hope the Ravens pay dearly for it over the next several years. I'm a Niners fan, and they hurt my feelings.
@Scramble "If the Pats cut Brady after two years he makes 45 mil."
Get your facts straight before posting. Brady's extension is for "only" 3 yrs and 27 mil, but the 27 mil and the 45 mil for the next 2 yrs, meaning if Brady gets a career-ending injury in Preseason Week 1 all that cash in guaranteed. As true NFL fans know, NFL contracts are not normally guaranteed as in MLB.
Stop acting like the stereotypical general public as our Founding Fathers had feared hence the creation of the electoral system with the intention to keep fools like you in check.
Geez Louise $120.6 for a flash in the pan! Next season Baltimore without Ray Lewis will be at the bottom of the NFL barrel.Spend while you can because the party will be over very shortly Joe Flacco....
@Dr. S I'm no Baltimore fan, but I'm not sure how you can make that statement. He's made the playoffs every year of his career so far, and we've all seen once you're in, anything can happen. That is just a wild guess on your part that can't be backed up at this point in time.
@RS1022 And If Lee Evans holds on to that TD last year against the Pats maybe he gets more...them's the breaks.
@Kristian How does the Ravens defense have such a huge reputation that people ignore the fact they were awful this past year. They got even worse in the post season. Give credit where it is due. Without Facco, Ravens don't win in Denver, New England, or in New Orleans. Jacoby Jones was not going to win MVP with 2 plays. They were awesome plays, but I just don't think they were going to give it to a part time WR and KR special teamer.
@Kristian i agree, tagging seemed like the wiser option, but the team have cap issues and we do not know how it really breaks down finance wise. All NFL contracts are about the Guarantee and the two year value. Thats why I think they pay huge signing bonus like Brees did, Flacco gets his pay day, and the team can make a run on their other free agents. Ravens on offense have Jones who can stretch the D if they play close, Boldin who can go over middle if they play off and Rice who can keep the run going. Thats more than Brady has at the moment.
@mjpt Just a quick note, if they franchised him, another team could steal him away. I know there are 2 kinds of franchise tags. I think one is called exclusive. Anyway, if we paid him the exclusive tag, we would have had to pay 20 mil next year against the cap. I have read that the way his contract is scheduled, it will not be a big hit next year. I read it is back loaded.
@MattMorgan Alex Smith has already been sent to KC. So... what would you do then?
@FreddieFunStuff Wasn't Megatron's team 6-10 last year? And while we are correcting facts, how did Flacco not make the supporting cast better? They had a mediocre defense, one pro bowler on offense (a guard), and won the Super Bowl.
@Mike115 Fact check: Here is the cap hit for the contract. And to answer comment number one-If injured the money is still guaranteed. If they release him at some point because of skill drop off, then the remaining years are over, but he is guaranteed all of the #30 million signing bonus and the salaries for each year he plays, soooo, if he is let go in two years he walks away with no less than $45 million, and of course the dead cap space stays with the Pats until the year 2018 2013: $13.8 million 2014: $14.8 million 2015: $13 million 2016: $14 million 2017: $15 million
@GD94134 Five consecutive seasons with at least one playoff win, culminating in the Super Bowl, and you think that's a 'flash in the pan'. Seriously? Seriously?
@GD94134 Losing Ray Lewis probably helps the defense. If Flacco has an average season like he did last year the players that got us there may be gone.
@3waystopsign @Dr. S Seems to me it's a projection, based on the fact that Flacco has made it to the Super Bowl once in 5 tries. And wouldn't have been there this year if a certain Bronco DB didn't have one of the most epic blunders ever.
@Evan5 @RS1022 The bad thing is he actually caught the ball and got both feet down. The NFL wouldn't review the play because they wanted a Pats/Giants rematch. For that to happen they had to get the Pats into the Super bowl first. If Joe would have led Evans away from the defender like Ben did with Holmes in the super bowl you take the game out of the officials and NFL's hands. Everyone wants to blame Evans, but it wasn't his fault.
@seanm929 @Kristian Without the revamped offensive line the Ravens don't win in Denver. With that much time even Sanchez could win. The Ravens beat Denver because of two things, Denver scored too quick twice on run backs and helped preserve the Ravens defense which kept Manning off the field preventing him from eating up the clock on long scoring drives. Except for McKinnie and Birk, who both played lights out, the Ravens offense is young and very fast. The second reason was the Keystone Cops play of the Broncos defense of Joe's Hail Mary Rainbow.
The Ravens won the AFC title game because Gronk was out with a broken arm and the Patriots lost three starters to injuries during the game. Joe did almost nothing in the first half until Talib got hurt.
They won the super bowl because Jacoby had two incredible touchdowns and the Niners defense crapped the bed both times. Where was Flacco in the second half when the Ravens needed him to put the the pedal to the metal. Other than the heave ho go fetch incredible catch by Boldin Joe didn't exist. The Ravens defense had just enough gas left in the tank the stop an inexperienced quarterback four downs inside the ten.
I'm a Ravens fan and Joe screwed everyone with his unearned greed.
@BrianButler thanks for that, I needed that information. It all makes sense now Ravens have Cap issues and this deal now seems cap friendly. I stated earlier the other option- that he could have got a huge signing bonus which get pro rated over 5 years eg 40m which means 8m against cap (40/5) this helps team if they want to go and get their other free agents..
I would traded before KC got him. Few draft picks, have an extra 13 mil to spend, and upgrade the QB. Also until the trade is made official it isn't a done deal.
@Scramble I just don't see $120.6 when I watch Flacco play period.Giving up the bank to Flacco leaves very little in the bank for the rest guaranteed.Thats all I'm say'in man.....
@Scramble Are you high? Do you watch NFL football? Remember the Calvin Johnson catch in the end zone vs the Bears a couple years ago? Go watch that and tell me that wasn't a catch. It was ruled incomplete. Nowadays, you not only need to get both feet down in bounds with the ball secured, you need to walk it back to the bench and hand it to the official with a bow on it. Evans did not catch that pass.
@Scramble Actually the rules have changed. You need to continue the catch and make a "secondary move" in the endzone. And if you are tackled afterwards you need to hold on as well.
The biggest example is when Megatron had a touchdown overturned and cost his team a game against the Bears last year.
@Scramble I disagree, it was an excellent pass by Flacco and Evans just didn't secure it. I mean it was right in his hands and Evans wasn't in any danger of being hit hard, what else is the pass supposed to do? And do you think Bolden in a million years lets some unknown corner back knock it out of his hands after getting a full grasp on it? Or Pitta? Or really any solid receiver?
I'm not even going to touch the conspiracy stuff. I believe the call was correct under the current rules.
@SportPage @Scramble @Kristian whether it was 3 games or not, it was a record setting post season. My point is that a lucky TD is one thing, but for anyone to say his post season was just luck and bad defense is just being a hater. You don't throw 11 TDs with no INTs or fumbles in a post season against the best left in the NFL with luck.
@SportPage Most road playoff wins for a QB in NFL history, tied most TDs in 1 post season with Montana and Warner and ties most TDs with no INTs in a post season with Montana.
@rainman @seanm929 @Scramble @Kristian and Montana just got lucky with "the catch", and Kurt Warner just got lucky with the TD throw to Bruce. Come on.
@Scramble @Kristian Your just a Flacco hater. If he can have a record setting post season and you want to credit everyone else, whatever. Nothing will change your mind. Since he is around for the next 6 years maybe you should go root for some other team.
@BrianButler all good . I think the team always has the ability to match competing offers. This is key. Franchise tag orignally was seen as protecting player but one can see how it really is a leverage tool for management. I saw this where the teams job is to control cap. Player job is to get up front cash and guarantee. This why the Brady deal in NE made both parties happy but was not the "brady giving money away" deal that it was made out..
@mjpt I wish I could remember the actual terms. I know that one of the tags was for around 14.75 million but on that tag he could be stolen away by another teams offer. On the exclusive, as i said earlier, it was for 20 mil but he could not be stolen. Oh, but if a team did take him for that 14.75, we would have gotten 2 compensatory 1st round picks from that team?? Or something like that which of course could deter teams from making an offer. I hope i am making sense!!!
@MattMorgan Would require a 1st round pick since KC's pick is #1 or #2 of the second round. And it makes Torrey Smith much less effective, Smith can't throw deep very well.
@Scramble Joe Flacco is Elvis Grbac? Now you are going deep into your bag of tricks in an attempt to justify your point. Face it, Joe Flacco got paid, whether you agree with it or not. Now you can spend the next few years yelling "I told you so" every time the guy throws an incomplete pass.
@MattMorgan @JoeCabot The team screwed up signing Elvis Grbac. He was a product of the Chiefs organization. When Jamal Lewis went down in pre season and we didn't have Priest Holmes Grbac was pretty much toast. Same thing that would happen to Flacco in a Rice less check down offense.
@MattMorgan @BrianButler Yes, team has never had a Super Bowl winning QB play in a game for them. Dilfer never played a snap for the team with that on his resume'.
Comes down to is it the QB that made them better, or is it the team? With middle of the pack stats, I lean towards the team. Now will the team be able to stay together with that big of a contract? As I said before, the team won a Superbowl with Trent Dilfer, then let him walk. Yes Flacco is a lot better, but not a top 10 QB, so he shouldn't be so overly paid. You pay someone that is probably a number 13 or 14 QB number one money and you over pay him. Yes reward him for the Superbowl win, maybe pay him in the top 10, but number 1? I'm glad it isn't my team this time over paying by so much.
@MattMorgan @Evan5 I said the same thing Matt. What he was saying was a SB winning QB the next season. His point being that you are going to have to pay a young SB MVP QB. I do agree with that even though I think Flacco gets way too much credit for our wins. Receivers certainly make him look good as did Jacoby Jones big plays and Rices big plays all year long.
First Super Bowl winning QB in franchise History, what about 2001?
XXXV 2001 Baltimore New York Giants 34-7. They won by a pretty big margin with Trent Dilfer. Though Flacco is a better QB then Dilfer, he wasn't worth paying a lot to keep, and neither was Flacco, Alex Smith would of been an ungrade, and KC is going to pay him $8.5 mil. Flacco should of been paid like $12 to 14 mil tops.
@JoeCabot @MattMorgan Very true...cant argue with his success. Or the teams success.
@BrianButler @Evan5 @JoeCabot don't we have see how the deal breaks down? If he has a huge signing (30-40m) bonus they can pro rate the bonus that will allow for keeping Boldin for 1-2 years. At moment Ravens have more than the Patriots on offense with stretch WR , Over middle WR and RB thats top class. I bet Brady wishes he had those elements..
@BrianButler @JoeCabot I'm from Baltimore. That's my team. I'm wearing the championship t-shirt right now. But it's not like I agree with everything they do.
@MattMorgan Isn't the NFL a bottom line business, with that bottom line being wins and championships? Seems that Joe Flacco-led teams have done that as well or better than most since he entered the league.
@JoeCabot I think most , if not all, would have been very pissed. Once again, he can have great games. For me, I think it is just too much money to pay especially if the Ravens lose some great players. lets be honest, do the Ravens win without Jacoby Jones or Anquan Boldin? If Boldin leaves, it will be a very big loss.
@BrianButler What if the Ravens had decided to play hardball with the guy & he ended up leaving? What would the reaction in Baltimore be to that scenario?
@BrianButler @JoeCabot I've seen the bad games as well. I really think Flacco needs excellent line play to do well. He didn't get it most of this year as Oher struggled at left tackle and KO struggled on the right side. When they shifted things around and he had enough time he shined.
However to me that's not unusual. Manning needs time, Brady needs time, Rodgers needs time. Flacco might need a little more than those guys, but when he got it he delivered. And again there is no option to get any of those other guys or to pay him less. So I think this is the best path.
@JoeCabot I agree. her in Baltimore it is big news because it may not allow us to keep Boldin, Reed, Leach and others. Just listen to the talk shows, he is loved by many and not so much by others. he can be a joy to watch and some times a train wreck to watch. If you feel like wasting time, go back and look at some of his numbers during the year. There were a few games where he had single digit QB ratings in a half.
@Evan5 @JoeCabot I respect your opinion , but I dont think we should just forget about those games against KC, Cleveland, Pittsburgh with a 3rd string QB, San Diego , the first game against Denver, etc. His contract is based on his entire body of work and not just a fantastic playoff run. Obviously since I live in Baltimore, I watch every minute of every game. I admit, I have seen some great games from him and I have seen some absolutely pathetic performances.
@BrianButler The economics of the NFL said that the guy was going to get paid. Re the KC game, every game is a potential bad game and/or loss in the NFL. Basically the same KC team ended GB's unbeaten season the previous year. Oh, and if Joe Flacco was not getting enough blame for Ravens' losses in the past, this contract now guarantees that the yelling and screaming will be ratcheted up for every bad play or drive, let alone a loss. I just think that it is cool when anyone in any line of work gets a big fat payday like this one. Don't know why it has aggravated so many football fans. Actually I do know but am not opening up that political can of worms.
@BrianButler @JoeCabot I'd say Flacco got the blame for almost every loss the last 5 years , except the AFC championship where he outplayed Brady and made the throw that should have won the game. I'd also say he didn't have excellent line play until the playoffs this year. And when he did he excelled.
There are only 7 teams with Super Bowl winning QBs. The Ravens have one of them. I'd worry less about a game against KC and care more about the performance against Denver, New England and San Francisco. It's his 5th year, this is when this should have happened if it's going to happen again.
@JoeCabot Honestly Joe, I could go either way with it. Sometimes he looks great and other times he cant even score against teams like KC.
@BrianButler Every QB in the league gets an inordinate amount of blame when his team loses. I don't see any more BAL games than any other team, but regardless of the style points, Joe Flacco wins games. By the reaction here, I am sure that he gets plenty of blame when the Ravens lose - hell just look at how many people are yelling at him here, just for winning games and getting a fat contract.
@Evan5 I guess I misunderstood your post about having a Super Bowl winning QB. And you are right, those teams and others would have paid that amount. I just can not forget about all of his horrible games. With Rodgers and the rest, they may win and lose, but they have much better consistency. Even a few years ago when we beat the Patriots in the playoffs, Joe had 4 completions the entire game!! But, sometimes he looks great!!! I get it but I just dont agree with it.
@JoeCabot Well, thankfully I do not have to make those decisions. I just dont see him having that high of a value. Let me ask you, do you watch all of the Ravens games? He gets a lot of credit for wins but does he get the same amount of blame for losses?
@BrianButler Dilfer never played for the team as a Super Bowl winning QB, he was cut after they won.
I'd take Rodgers, he's young as well and obviously very very good and will soon sign for more money. But I don't think Green Bay was offering him straight up. The others are 35 and older so i wouldn't want to sign them up for 5-6 years. And it was a market rate deal, Cleveland, KC, Arizona and many more would have paid the same.
@BrianButler What were the Ravens to do? Lowball the guy & let him leave?
@Evan5 Obviously you make good points about the long drives, the dropped passes, etc. My point is that he is not worth $120 mil. That makes him the highest paid player in the history of the NFL!!! The article is about his salary. my response is that he is an above average QB. In my opinion, I would take Rodgers, Brady, Brees and others above him. I dont even think he is the best player on this team. Do you? BTW, Dilfer was also a Super Bowl winning QB.
@Scramble @JoeCabot Flacco led the team on two long drives in the second half. Not bad after 84 minutes between plays. Did he do much better if Rice runs it in from the 1? Or if Bajema isn't held on third down? Or if Pitta catches that 3rd down pass that would have extended one of the field goal drives?
@JoeCabot With Jacoby Jones running back a kick off and Jacoby Jones making a touch down from a pass he had to fall down to catch. I think Jacoby Jones, the true Super Bowl MVP, won that one for the Ravens. If you take a deeper look, Flacco crapped the bed in the second half. He is our 30 minute quarterback.
@BrianButler You need to stop worrying about how this team won the Super Bowl and just enjoy it. Buy a new hat or something. Was it better last year when they had a much better team but lost because of a drop and a missed FG? Or in Pittsburgh because of some fumbles and drops?
Going forward they have a Super Bowl winning QB for the first time in franchise history. It's March, just enjoy it.
@BrianButler And if the Ravens chose not to re-sign Joe Flacco, you would be okay with it?
@Scramble @GD94134 I was just talking about that game. If the Chiefs QB doesnt fumble on 1st and goal from the 1, we lose. I love anything Baltimore but I am not a Flacco fan and yes I catch hell for it. He can totally disappear for long periods of a game. He is very inaccurate, either throwing high most of the time or just plain missing receivers. I still cant believe we won the Super Bowl. From the Mile High Miracle, which was a horrible defensive gaffe, to Jacoby Jones and Anquan Boldin making spectacular plays, we would be talking about a very average QB. People forget about the 4th and 29 against the Chargers, the Patriots missing a FG in the first game against the Ravens, the Cowboys missing a game winning FG and even the browns who had a TD called back which would have been the winner!! I just dont get it...
@Scramble Easy to make any argument when you cherry pick your data. Like this: when was the last time Manning, Brady, or Brees won a Super Bowl like Joe Flacco just did?
@JoeCabot When was the last time Manning, Brady or Brees didn't throw a touchdown in a game against the worst team in the league. And yet they are paying Joe Fleece more money than them.
@Scramble The Ravens, not you, won three AFC playoff games and the Super Bowl, and you are complaining about a game played on October 7th? Some of you guys will go deep looking for something to complain about.

After the speech, a member of the audience stood up and thanked Olson. The man from China stated there's a strong interest in his country for clean technology such as that offered by Olson.
In return, the audience of Chinese business people offered potential capital and customers for Olson and other Nevada entrepreneurs hoping to expand their companies into the huge Asian market.
ElectraTherm builds "waste heat generators," which convert excess industrial heat or gas pressure into electricity. The machines are fuel-free, thus pollution-free, according to the company Web site at www.electratherm.com.
Without revealing all of his cards, Rob Emrich, ElectraTherm's vice president of sales, gave a brief outline of the the Green Machine technology.
"It's the difference (in water temperature) that activates the refrigerant to create pressure," Emrich said. "The pressure turns an 'expander' that turns rotors that turn the electric generator."
Emrich stopped short of explaining the expander component but called it the "heart of the machine."
"We're getting ready to install (a machine) at Florida Canyon Mine, located between Winnemucca and Lovelock," Emrich said. "They have process water at 220 degrees. The water will go into the 50-kilowatt machine to produce electricity."
Heat will be converted into clean power to help offset the company's electricity costs.
Besides mining, other industrial applications include landfills, incinerators, factories and even motor vehicles, according to the company brochure. Demand for the machines is growing with orders coming in from around the world including Europe and Taiwan, Emrich said.
"We're literally shipping (machines) all over the world," Emrich said. "The requests for evaluation sheets is incredible."
In 2008, the ElectraTherm Green Machine was named a top technology innovation by Popular Science Magazine.
The Magazine's editors described the Green Machine as a significant advance in small-scale power production.
"As a winner of a Best of What's New Award in the Green Tech category, the ElectraTherm Green Machine stands out as the first commercially viable generator to make electricity from low temperature, residual industrial heat that has, until now, gone to waste," according to the magazine.
The PopSci Web site reveals a little more of the Green Machine's inner workings.
"ElectraTherm's closet-size device is the first machine to power generators with waste heat of as low as 200 degrees, a temperature given off by common boilers or chillers in office buildings," according to the Web site. "(Industrial waste-heat recyclers require 1,000-degree blazes). The heat boils refrigerants into a pressurized gas that spins two small, screw-shaped rotors."
If demand for the Green Machine continues to increase, more ElectraTherm jobs may be created by the end of the year, Olson said on Thursday. The 4-year-old company now employs 30 workers between a manufacturing site in Mound House and the research and development site and two other offices in Carson City.
Emrich said his company is not unique. Other companies build residual heat generators but lack the adaptability and portability of the Green Machine. Emrich refused to reveal the cost of his machines but emphasized the generators rapidly pay for themselves "without government subsidy."

Free Lecture on Georgia O'Keeffe July 16 at the Albany Institute of History and Art
For Immediate Release
January 07, 2009
Georgia O'Keeffe burst onto the New York art scene in the early twentieth century and captured the imagination of people around the world, not only with incredible artistic talent, but through her bohemian spirit as well. Join the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute's Richard Rand at the Albany Institute of History and Art as he discusses O'Keeffe's life and friendship with Arthur Dove and his role in the development of her early abstract paintings. The lecture, free and open to the public, will occur on Thursday, July 16, at 6 pm. For more information, call the Albany Institute of History and Art at 518-463-4478 or visit albanyinstitute.org.
Although Dove and O'Keeffe's approach to imagery ultimately diverged, their shared interest in capturing the ephemeral, fugitive traits of nature—the play of light on water, the transitions of the sun and moon, and the rustle of the wind through grass—was the basis for an abiding commitment to each other's works and a profound aesthetic connection that lasted throughout their lifetimes.
From the start of her career, O'Keeffe credited a reproduction of a Dove pastel as her introduction to modernism. Dove's use of sensual, abstract forms to evoke the flowing rhythms and patterns of nature had already put him at the forefront of the American modernist movement by the time O'Keeffe entered the scene around 1916. Dove had been featured at the renowned photographer Alfred Stieglitz's New York gallery "291" in 1912, and O'Keeffe's work was first shown there in 1916. Works from this period, including Dove's Abstraction, No. 3 (1910-11) and O'Keeffe's No. 24-Special/No. 24 (1916-17), established the innovative aesthetic vision that characterized their early work.
O'Keeffe's influence on Dove can be seen in the 1930s, when he turned to her early works, particularly her watercolors, such as Sunrise (1916), as means through which to renew his own work and vision. Although O'Keeffe had long abandoned the medium, Dove created a number of important works including Sunrise #1 (1936) during this period, when he found his inspiration in what he called O'Keeffe's "burning watercolors."

American Atheists plans to target three Republican politicians: former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, former House Speak Newt Gingrich and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum.
The seven signs will go up around Dallas and Austin, Texas.
In one billboard, a picture of Palin is featured on the left, with a quote attributed to her. "We should create law based on the God of the Bible," the quote reads. Underneath the graphic is a tag line "GO GODLESS INSTEAD."
The billboard, however, misquotes Palin. In an interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, Palin addressed the growth in American secularism by saying America's founding fathers "would create law based on the God of the Bible and the Ten Commandments," not "should."
Each of the billboards has a similar format and includes a pitch for the group's 50th anniversary convention in Austin.
Santorum is condemned for when he told an Iowa crowd last November that, "our civil laws have to comport with a higher law: God's law," while Gingrich is criticized for a remark he made at a CNN debate on October 18, 2011, in Las Vegas. "How can I trust you with power if you don't pray," Gingrich posited.

On the Horizon
New business initiatives mean new threats. Are you ready?
From January to May of this year, the Identity Theft Resource Center tracked 136 major identity thefts affecting 56 million people. According to the Ponemon Institute, 45 percent of such breaches result from missing laptops. At an average corporate cost of $182 per compromised record, why doesn't every company encrypt laptop data?
"Worldwide, about 20 percent of laptops are encrypted," says Richard Stone, vice president of marketing at mobile security vendor Credant Technologies. "A year ago, one barrier was budget, but most companies have now gotten past that. During the VA incident, envelopes alone to notify those affected cost $11 million. Encrypting that data would certainly have cost less."
Stone believes that many companies do not yet encrypt laptop data because they have not determined exactly what they must do to comply with regulations and make their organization secure. "Measure twice, cut once applies to encryption," he says.
Booting Up
Today, most companies that encrypt laptops start with a mandate. "Ten years ago, our customers made IT-initiated point decisions," says Gerhard Watzinger, CEO of SafeBoot, which also secures mobile devices. "Now, the No. 1 driver is compliance, with corporate-wide rollouts initiated at the board level."
Alexandra Kim, executive director of ISS technology at George Washington University, experienced
"It's an idea we've had for years, but a 2006 board meeting gave us a turbo charge," she says. GWU then created a five-phase plan to encrypt all confidential data with Utimaco SafeGuard. "We segmented the population and did those at the top first. Our first phase covered all users who access confidential data and carry laptops. Our next phase will encrypt all desktops in departments that use confidential data."
Highmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield in Pennsylvania found motivation aplenty to encrypt thousands of laptops and desktops. "We're a DoD (Department of Defense) contractor; we're also bound by HIPAA and SOX," says Chris Kashner, desktop specialist. "We see other companies losing data and didn't want our name in the headlines."
To address those concerns, Highmark deployed GuardianEdge Hard Disk Encryption, first to laptops, then to teleworker desktops. To stop flash drive leakage, Highmark later added Pointsec Media Encryption.

I just installed OSX via a retail DVD using the generic.iso found here that uses the modified kext's
I burned the CD, booted, installed, booted.
Everything actually worked. However, i'm not able to enable Quartz for my 7600GT video card that I know supports it. (iDeneb 10.5.5 it works fine).
I've tried adding NVinject.kext to the initrd.img file and burned a new boot Cd, but that didn't solve the problem? Any sort of suggestions or fixes would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!

And for the record, 720P has more data bandwidth than 1080i.
That means you won't see the PS3 downconverting 1080P to 1080i. 720P -> 1080i is all we will get. Downconverting a 1080P signal would cost the system way too much performance.
And for the record, 720P has more data bandwidth than 1080i.
That means you won't see the PS3 downconverting 1080P to 1080i. 720P -> 1080i is all we will get. Downconverting a 1080P signal would cost the system way too much performance.
Has anyone tried playing Gran Turismo (ps2) on thier PS3? That game has been made in 1080i. Just curious to see what its like?
I'd blame the TV just as much as the PS3.
Who in their right non consumer raping minds makes a TV that does 1080i but not 720p??? However sony COULD have evened out the playing field by just makeing it do everything from 480i up to 1080p.
Those forums were fun stuff indeed. I remember all the posts about how you could play backups on a non modded PS1 if you used the black CD-rs because the color of the disk is what stopped it. But I really didn't even have my sony modded yet at that point, let alone own a PS2!
Instead of wasting all weekend griping about how Sony can't support a few old spent HDTV's, let us use our heads and do the math...I am making the assumption here that the average non-blue-collar joe in their mid 20's makes $35/hour, but that is all relative to geographic location and living expenses:
Gasoline, car depreciation, and a few hours of lost potential wages from driving all over town looking for the smallest lineup:
= $100+
15 hours minimum in lost potential wages from camping out to have a PS3 on opening day:
35*15 = $525
Lost wages from calling in sick the next couple of days because you haven't had any sleep from camping in line and/or have caught a cold:
35*16 = $560
Post-purchase medical expenses:
$0-$1000+, depending on how far north you live (ie. how much you froze from standing outside) and how badly you were mauled in the lineup when the doors opened.
Cost of the actual PS3 and a few games and whatnot:
Cost of a 42" 1080p LCD HDTV:
$1300 if you know where to look
Am I the only one seeing something wrong with this picture?
Now is where you have to congratulate Microsoft even if you don't want to. With the 360 it doesnt matter what resolution the games are in, it always outputs at the resolution chosen (except dvd's, those are 480p)
and skonash- why should we have to upgrade our 2500$ tv after already buying a 1000$ video game console. Sony should have covered every possible situation. how do you overlook the ability to output 1080i? (unless of course, it was rushed to market...)
plus, if you make 35$ an hour, you've already upgraded your tv and your right, your not going to complain. but are you seriously suggesting sony to just give up and say:
actually, now that i read that. i agree, it's not sony's fault. it's ours for buying into early technology.Although we are very sorry about not supporting your tv, we have already though of ways to help you out. Based on the fact that you own a ps3 and an early hdtv, we've concluded that your rich and can just go out and buy a new 1080p plasma tv, we recommend a sony bravia one. those are guaranteed to work with the ps3. Another option is to buy a 1500$ Sony receiver/video scaler. this will scale the ps3's video to 1080i. Either way we congratulate your ability to find a ps3 and are looking forward to your additional 2000$!
Your Friends,
My friend bought a 1080i HDTV for a variety of reasons a few years ago, chiefly that it was half the price of a 720p one and that it being a tube based TV makes 480i/p signals look as good as a SDTV (which was all of the games at the time). A game console that people would buy only for the High-Def (there are much better games on the ps2 right now than the launch lineup) should support all HDTVs. Anything else is unacceptable.
The easiest solution is to add a software scaler to their dev kits and require that all developers use it. It wouldn't help the handful of games released now, but would solve the problem in the future with a very low cost.
Skonash, Im not sure if your post was satire or if you truly believe that most people make 35$ an hour. The vast majority of people (and nearly everyone I know) does not. In fact most people don't make half that. I would even go so far to say that there a sizable amount of people still paying off their 1080i HDTVs on credit cards and you are not going to convince them to buy another TV just for PS3. Then again those people really shouldn't be buying a PS3 either...
A software scailer would cost a lot in terms of CPU cycles. If Sony did something like that, all games would have to not factor in "x" amount of processing power so it could be exclusively reserved to make the relatively small "1080i only" contingent happy. It won't happen :/

These screws' hex head were almost worn out on my Washburn BT-6 so I bought the ones intended for the Golden Age FR Trem. I assumed (correctly) that they were standard fit and so they were! Perfect Fit.
Perfect, schallers don't strip easily. Fits jackson, ibanez, and all genuine floyd rose variants.
Great quality product and very well packaged was delivered just in time. I recommend StewMac to all buyers. Thank you!
They were a good replacement for my old screws which were very rusty.
Stew-Mac is my go-to place for Floyd parts. Excellent service every time!
Este tem que ter sempre em estoque para as floyds da vida que aparecem de vez em quando.
Somehow I ended up losing the gold hardware (string clamps) and screws for the top of the double-locking tremolo of my Ibanez JEM. As I said in a review of the string clamps, Stew-Mac's parts fit the guitar perfectly as it should have and I can barely tell a difference.
I am rebuilding a Floyd Rose from the early 80's. Who has the parts I need at great prices? Stew Mac. Thanks Stew Mac your dedication to the builders and techs and the quality parts you research and provide is greatly appreciated!
Very good quality.
keep in shop , IT's good for repair

I LOVE this cookbook! I have made several of the recipes already and they turned out so good! The chocolate chip cookies were chewy and moist and wonderful... even with no eggs! And so easy to make, too. The Banana cake with Coconut Frosting turned out great too! I am SO glad I bought this cookbook, I have already recommended it to several people!

I borrowed this book from a friend and made a couple of recipes from it and fell in love with the it. I have been on a gluten-free diet for two years now and have been very disappointed with the quality and taste of any of the gluten-free foods on the market. I am now excited about cooking and eating again; that is how good these recipes are!
excellent book

Though the recipes themselves are not stellar for flavor, the basic principles and ideas to build on are GREAT. I received much more than I hoped in this book, and will augment the flavors according to our family's taste. (My guess is that the author was writing a book for the basics, and the recipes and information contained in it open all kinds of doors for flavor experimentation.) Highly recommended.
Tried the Cupcakes

I got this cookbook from iHerb at a great price and shipped quickly! The cookbook is small but has a lot of recipes that look really good. I decided to try the cupcakes. Messed it up a little, I forgot to put the wet ingredients into the egg yolk before adding the whipped egg white. But even adding it afterward and gently folding it in worked ok. I also did not follow the directions exactly. I whipped up the egg white first because I know you don't want any fat from the egg yolks in them or they won't whip up good. So I did the egg whites, then the egg yolk and added the rest of the ingredients. I also used olive oil instead of the grapeseed oil. It says it makes 10 cupcakes but mine made 12 good size ones. As an afterthought, I sprinkled on a few chocolate chips before they baked. Supposed to be 20 to 30 minutes baking time but mine seemed to be browning too quickly. I took them out at 15 minutes and tested one. It needed to go back in so I turned down the heat from 350 to 325 and left them five more minutes. Turned out great! Very tasty! I had two and so did my mother. I looked up the calories by ingredient and the amounts in the recipe. 216 calories each, almond flour is 145 calories per 1/4 cup. The agave is 480 calories for the recipe. The almond flour has mostly healthy fat, protein and fiber. I'm going to look for a recipe using stevia for the sweetener. The cookbook has recipes that aren't considered deserts, like salmon burgers and turkey burgers. Due to the expense of the ingredients, I wouldn't bake like this all the time but once in a while for a treat I think it's fine. I recommend the cookbook and I highly recommend getting it from iHerb!

What I learned is that there has been a general sense of progress, from a media system that began in Colonial times essentially as intelligence for the elite, and gradually became more and more of a system that at least purports to or attempts to provide news and information to the vast majority. So there is an arc of history from the news for the few to news for all. However, government policy plays a far greater part in that media system than I had expected or understood. Yes, there has been progress; however, that progress can be set back unless the new round of decisions about the Internet and about the digital era respond to the needs of the majority of the people.
You talk about how the government and regulators developed the newspaper industry though legislation like the Postal Act, but also hampered media in the hands of people of color: by stamping out amateur radio properties that could have developed to inform people of color; by giving licenses to known activists in the KKK; and by helping to build monopolies like in the telegraph and cable systems and radio. Have we forgotten those lessons, and are we headed down that same road with the Internet and cable and wireless businesses today?
Every new communications technology subverts the existing order, and then requires the government to step in to fashion new rules for the operation of the new media. Every new technology has started with the same promise: of liberating humanity, of providing new opportunities for diverse news to flow. That was the promise of radio, of cable, and now the Internet. However, after the new technology has been around for ten, fifteen years, then the real decision points happen: How will this new system really operate? That's when the key issues have to be decided. So while there i¬s great promise in the Internet—there's no doubt that the Internet has unleashed enormous amounts of citizen journalism, has broken down the gatekeeper functions of the old media companies, the major television stations, the networks, and the newspapers—there's no assurance that ten years from now that will be the landscape that we confront because now what's happened is that the gatekeepers are no longer the main producers of content. The gatekeepers are now those who control the pipes. The media powers of today are not really The New York Times and ABC and NBC. They are Comcast and Verizon and Google and Apple and Yahoo.
But you refer to some of that access that people have to the media as the "browning of the Internet," with Latinos, and blacks and Asians and Native Americans and South Asians and others who have a great presence that they didn't have before. So despite what is happening with the companies that control the delivery systems, you don't think they really stand a chance to reach some equalization with other parts of society?
They do but the problem is: What will be the government policies that will allow them to continue to develop? For instance, we mention a lot in the book the future of net neutrality and the ability of small entrepreneurs and small producers of media to have their content transmitted at the same speed as the major companies. That's one huge issue. The issue of the future of public access on cable is another. Public access programming on cable throughout the seventies and eighties became a major place where racial minorities could put on their own programming, could be heard. Public access programming is, of course, very uneven in its quality, but some of it is very good, and most importantly it's local. The local cable company has to provide local public access, and therefore you get coverage of local elections and school board issues on public access television that the regular NBC or CBS affiliates don't cover. So therefore to the degree that public access is preserved, then so will citizen access to cable be preserved. To the degree that public access is increasingly marginalized, and as cable systems expand from sixty to a hundred to five hundred to a thousand channels, what will happen to public access?

Soon after the Kings' chartered plane pointed its nose westward from Chicago, scene of their season-ending loss to the Blackhawks on Saturday in Game 5 of the Western Conference finals, Coach Darryl Sutter began getting ready to open training camp on Sept. 11.
Leaving others to analyze why the team's Stanley Cup reign has ended, Sutter has turned to preparing for what the Kings might accomplish next season if their promising kids get stronger and fitter and everyone is healthy.
"I started doing it on the plane ride home the other night," he said Monday. "There was no, what do you call it, decompress? No. That's not the way it was."
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
Decompress? Sutter?
Not likely.
He's often crusty and cantankerous, and those who try to extract injury information from him during the playoffs do so at their peril.
But judge him by deeds, not by words, and it's clear he did as good a job this year to get the injury-ravaged, suddenly low-scoring Kings to the West finals as he did in guiding them to the Cup a year ago, when everything clicked and the lineup was consistently healthy and deep.
General Manager Dean Lombardi, who had the same role in San Jose when Sutter coached there, had thought Sutter's finest coaching feat was getting the Sharks to the playoffs for a second straight season while facing new and heightened expectations. Lombardi has revised his opinion.
"Take that premise — expectations and everything — and multiply it times whatever after winning a Cup. The stakes are a lot higher," Lombardi said. "This was a new experience for all of us. Now having been through it and what we went through this year and seeing what they did as a coaching staff and as a team, that's way tougher than getting in the playoffs a second year. . . .
"I think it's the finest coaching job he's done."
No question, the Blackhawks were faster and fresher and deserved to win. But Sutter believes the Kings weren't that far behind. Although the team's scoring dried up in the playoffs, Sutter said he's focusing on cutting the goals-against total and fixing the disparity of having given up 74 goals on the road and only 44 at home this season. Overall, he said, the Kings weren't missing anything.
"I have no problem with anything other than we're a really young team and we can get better and from an individual standpoint," he said.
Only now is it becoming clear how limited a deck he worked with during the playoffs.
He said Monday that defenseman Robyn Regehr was scheduled for surgery after playing the entire postseason with an elbow injury. Team captain Dustin Brown tore a knee ligament in Game 6 of the second round and couldn't push off or put power into his skating; he said the knee is expected to heal after four to six weeks' rest. Forward Justin Williams had a separated shoulder, defenseman Drew Doughty a bad ankle. That list might expand after players undergo detailed medical exams this week — and it doesn't include defensemen Willie Mitchell, who missed the whole season, and Matt Greene, who missed most of it.
"Losing those two guys was not exactly the way you want to go about defending your title," Lombardi said. "They're arguably the best penalty killers in the league and really fit in with our puck movers, and he didn't have them all year."
Sutter had to live with young players' mistakes on defense but banked on their character as much as they banked on his smarts.
"I think Darryl did a tremendous job," said defenseman Rob Scuderi, who's approaching unrestricted free agency but said he hadn't yet discussed his future with his agent.
"I've loved playing for him, as a player. He has a great feel for what the team has going on and almost kind of a sense of what the team is thinking, and he knows maybe how to counteract that or work with it."
Scuderi also praised Sutter for making sure players avoided the traditional Stanley Cup hangover and, later, for getting them rolling in March and April. "It's unfortunate that we lost home ice," Scuderi said, "but you can't really say enough about what those guys have done as a staff to get us not only back into the postseason, but also to win a couple of rounds."
Sutter has already begun preparing to get them past more than a couple of rounds next season. There are no guarantees in a close league except that Sutter won't be decompressing, ever.

9700 Preston Crossing Blvd, Louisville, KY | Directions 4022938.108266 -85.671596
Great Theatre! Best in Town! – Went last ight to see Pirates... Awesome theatre! The staff was friendly and the theatre was clean and well-maintained. I've never been to a theatre where I could get dinner and drinks - GREAT IDEA! The lobby looks like a casino, with its high ceilings and all the food offerings. LOVE IT!
Do something about the prices! – Why does everything have to cost so much. One order of fries is 5.00. I could keep going but I won't. I'm sure everybody who's been knows what I am talking about. I very rarely go because of the prices I have 2 kids and I also bring other kids with me sometimes that is just too much money. Drop the prices you may get more business. More business more money!
You have to be Donald Trump to go to this movie theater or save up for a couple of months and then go every blue moon if your lucky.
LoVe it there – compared to dixie dozen this place is a wonderful place to just sit back and watch a movie.
I love it.
Best Theatre in Town – I've got to say this is definetly the cleaniest and most friendly theatre I've ever been to. And I've been to a lot. I'm a military service member and I've been all over the country and on average I spend close to $100 a month at the movies. And not many theatres have military discounts any more but Cinema De Lux 16 does and trust me when you go to see as many movies as i do a month its worth it. The staff is always friendly and knoweledgeable. And any time I have a problem they are quick to fix it. I would reccomend this theatre to anyone. Keep up the good work CINEMA DE LUX STAFF !

One of the best theatres out there!!!! – Ok. Here is the deal. I work at Showcase 16, and have for about a year. I know things about the theatre that the average walk in patron wouldn't. As for the lady who said that there was nobody there when she went to go see Iron Man at 10:00, that movie lasts 2h & 20m. She and her family left at about 12:20 if not later, and it was on a Wednesday night. We close on weekdays around 10:30 to 11ish, and when she left there were no staffers to be found because most of them (with the exclusion of one Usher) were all gone. And he was off doing night work, such as cleaning, sweeping, etc. The Ushers arent allowed to do anything if they dont directly see the "thugs" doing something, we can get in trouble if we do. We only have security on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights because those are our busiest times. As for the consession stand being slow, you have to understand the quantity of peoples orders. If you order 4 or 5 things of course one person isnt gunna get it to you at lightening speed, but we try to get it to you as fast as we can without messing up your order. For the woman who said that an Usher ased for her ticket, he was probably trying to look at your seat for the director's hall like another said. It sounds to me like all you wanted was a free ticket and you didnt get one that's why you dont want to go back. I love the theatre not just because i work there but because i know that it is a great movie theatre with great food. Chatters is especially delicious and the theatre itsself is just a lot more clean than some of the other movie theatres that you may find out there. I was just trying to clear some things up for the negative reviews about this place because i know how hard the employees work to try and get people to come back and enjoy their stay. I encourage anyone to come check out our theatre. And hey maybe you'll even see me there! Say hi to Samantha! That's me! i hope i cleared things up ENJOY
Most comfortable place ever. – It's a nice cleaned up place with lots of kind faces and good prices there not too high. They have good food too there is only one waiter who isn't very fast but he's nice so he makes up for it in the long run. This is the only place i would go to see a movie. It has nice service too.
Beef up the Security – Ok, Wednesday evening at the 10:ish showing of IronMan we were in the back row of theater 11 and some young men came in and sat down right in front of us (there were only a handful of people in the theatre at that time) right when the previews started someone kept coming into the theatre and moaning and screaming and running off my husband got up and looked over the balcony to see who kept doing this it had happed several times (I had two young kids with us 9 - 12 years old) the last time the moaning and screaming yes, yes, yes stopped two young men came in laughing loudly and making a lot of noises sat down with the other young men in front of us (oh when they walked in front of us one of the young men raised his hands in the air and waved them so we couldn't see the screen) I got up and went out to the front desk and told them what was going on (I missed the beginning of the movie because of these thugs) they sent this kid in who was about 5" and 93 pounds to take care of six young men (16 to 19 years of age) and this young kid did nothing he came in stood at the bottom entrance and walked out. During the entire movie they texted people, they talked on their cell phones, they received phone calls and they screamed out sexual comments during the movie. My husband then went out and still nothing is done about it. When the movie was over and they had ruined the entire movie for us, they were standing where the concessions were and my kids were very afraid, but I wasn't I knew I had a cell phone to call 911 and I had my husband with us. We proceeded to go out to the parking lot and we were parked on the left and they on the right when we got to our car they started screaming stuff and riding in their suburban really fast and doing doughnuts in the parking lot. You wonder why we didn't say anything to any of the workers when we came out of the movie - well there was no one to be found (no workers, and no security at all. $50.00 + down the drain.
Great Theater – This movie theater is my favourite movie theater in Louisville (excluding independently owned ones like Baxter Avenue). It tends to be the most consistently clean theater, as well as having the most number of employees who are friendly. The only complaint I have on a regular basis is how slow the people working at the concession stand tend to be. They aren't all slow, but a lot of them are.
As to the comment one user made about being asked to show her ticket by the ushers, my guess would be that she was seeing the movie in a director's hall. The director's halls don't have seating like the other theaters; the tickets for the director's halls have seating assignments on them. The usher probably asked to see her ticket so he could tell her where to sit. Personally, I love sitting in the director's hall for that reason, and if you buy your ticket early enough, you can pick where you want to sit without worrying about somebody else sitting there if you get there close to show time. However, with that being said, don't buy a director's hall ticket online and expect to get the seat you want.
In addition to what I said above, I also like how conveniently located the theater is. It is on Preston Highway right off of Gene Snyder. There is also parking aplenty. Fridays and Saturdays tend to be the busiest times. Sundays afternoons are often times pretty decent.
not even a invite back – I had a bad experience tonite. I took my son to the movies. We saw the movie 21. It was great. We spent $10.00 in games bought drinks and candy. All together it was about a $50.00 night. The Movie was great! It is a sunday so it was rather slow. At the end of the movie we started to leave and the guys that sat us at the begining of the movie walked up and asked for our ticket. This made me feel we had done something wrong. Nothing was ever explained. I was not happy about how i was approched! I was so upset I talked to the staff to understand why this had happend. They did explain but the memory I left with was that I had done something wrong. They in no way tried to make the situation better. I am left bitter! I will not go back. However I would have if they would have made me feel welcome back with a free ticket.
Hot dogs synonymous with Coney Island summers can be found in several communities across the country. – In Short
In 1916, Nathan Handwerker, a young Polish immigrant, borrowed $300 from friends Jimmy Durante and Eddie Cantor to open a hot dog stand on booming Coney Island. Using his fiacee's recipe, he sold these soon-to-be-famous dogs for only a nickel. Eventually, these restaurants spread to Yonkers and more points west, now showing up in malls, airports and neighborhoods throughout the U.S. The menu has expanded, too, and includes hamburgers, chicken sandwiches and French fries.

Will Pell's Missing Votes Matter at the Polls?
Saturday, February 22, 2014
"This will be Exhibit A in the attack ads," said Darrell West, Vice President and Director of Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution in Washington, DC. "It's one of the ways his opponents will go after him, with this evidence; that he's not committed to Rhode Island."
Veteran political pollster Victor Profughi said, "Certainly not a plus. It will likely reinforce the image opponents will seek to paint that Pell is out of touch with Rhode Islanders and their needs."
Concerns over Civic Engagement
Pell said in a statement to GoLocal, "I believe in the importance of voting. I regret those times when I did not vote, and I take responsibility for not voting in every election."
Rhode Island College Professor of Communication Valerie Endress noted how she thought the issue could play out during the campaign.
"Every campaign operative knows that get-out-the-vote (GOTV) drives are important. In this highly contested gubernatorial campaign, these drives are even more essential and will make the difference between winning and losing," said Endress. "I don't know of any narrative response that can convince occasional voters to respond to an appeal that would amount to "don't as I do, but do as I tell you."
Endress continued, "His spotty voting record, combined with a lack of elective experience could ultimately prove to be Pell's Achilles' heel. While the Pell family name will have some currency as well his celebrity spouse, with this latest revelation, he's even more vulnerable to his opponents' attacks."
West noted that the time and energy spent addressing the issue could play a role in the direction of the campaign.
"This has happened in other races," said West. "It often creates a problem for the candidate, as they have to spend valuable time explaining whey they didn't vote, and it takes them off message."
"This is a problem for him because of the number of missed votes," West continued. "It's hard to make the argument for public service with that."
John Marion, the Executive Director of Common Cause Rhode Island, noted, "As a group that tries to encourage many forms of participation in the political process it's discouraging when anyone seeking to be a leader and role model in our state doesn't take advantage of a most important right as a citizen."
Role of Issue in Campaigns Questioned
"Like any aspect of a candidate's personal history, Pell's voting record is not a problem for his campaign until his opponents and/or media effectively frame it as a problem. The Pell campaign quickly acknowledged the situation and the Fung campaign has dismissed it as a non-issue—that may be enough to make it go away. Certainly one or both of Pell's opponents in the Democratic primary race could still seek to frame this as a problem, but to successfully do so they will need to make a convincing case that it is symbolic of a deficiency in his commitment or character."
"If his opponents fail to make this case effectively, this issue will look insignificant relative to the very real challenges that Rhode Islanders are facing, and they could risk backlash for playing political games," continued Holtzman. "In this sense, how the respective camps choose to deal with this issue can tell us a lot about the sorts of campaigns they will be running."
Rhett Wilson with Project Vote Smart saw the impact of the issue of missed votes as being largely decided by the voter. "It's up to voters whether they find a candidate for statewide office who hasn't voted in the majority of elections for which they were eligible to be an issue."

Direct commission in the Coast Guard right out of lawyer school. Ever heard a shot fired in anger, trust fund boy? Many have these days.

Just what Rhode Island needs--another elitist and statist "liberal" of the kind that has driven Rhode Island into the dirt economically and trades on an infamous name. You know "Clay" (what's the mater with "Claiborne--it sounds so much more quintessentially elitist) is clueless when, like his grandpapa, he panders to the public sector unions that have driven Rhode Island into the ground. I think his election bus is stuck in reverse if he thinks that is going arrest Rhode Island's decline.
And isn't it time we started calling "Pell" grants "Taxpayer Grants," which is what they really are. I wonder how many people think they are gifts from a beneficient member of the aristocracy.
Mr. Pell, please don't run.
